Online sportsbooks have the odds set close in this one being that it is a top-10 matchup. The Fighting Irish had a great season going 11-1 while the Cowboys had a similar 11-2 record and finished in first place in the Big 12.
Going into this one, Notre Dame has all of the momentum on their side having won seven straight games to cap off the regular season. The Cowboys, on the other hand, are coming off of a big loss to Baylor in the Big 12 Championship.
However, the big news here is that Notre Dame is going to be without their star running back Kyren Williams, who opted out to prepare for the NFL Draft. Williams was responsible for a big portion of Notre Dame’s offense with over 1,300 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns. If the Cowboys could find a way to eliminate the run game, even more, they could be looking at a win.
